Who are the “co-perpetrators” of Rodrigo Duterte? ICC released the names.
RODRIGO DUTERTE CO-PERPETRATORS – The prosecution of the International Criminal Court (ICC) dropped eight names.
On Friday, the
International Criminal Court
The ICC prosecution named eight people as indirect co-perpetrators of
Duterte‘s alleged crimes against humanity
. The former president, who is still on trial, is set to undergo a pre-trial on February 23.
The eight co-perpetrators are:
Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa
Former police chief Vicente Danao
The late former police chief Camilo Cascolan
Former police chief Oscar Albayalde
Senator Bong Go
Former National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) chief Dante Gierran
Former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency chief Isidro Lapeña
Former justice secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II
Based on the document, it alleges that Duterte oversaw a “Common Plan” to “neutralize” suspected criminals, especially those linked to illegal drugs. There are three counts covering 49 incidents of killings, with 78 victims.
Count 1 = 19 victims of the DDS
Count 2 = 14 high-value targets killed during the drug war
Count 3 = 45 “low-level” victims of Oplan TokHang
“In their new geographically expanded roles, the co-perpetrators controlled the will of the physical perpetrators through a mechanism that ensured their automatic compliance with their orders,”
said the document.
“It flies in the face of prosecutorial logic to seek further warrants in the Philippines situation before the decision of the Appeals Chamber on the former President’s jurisdictional challenge,”
Kaufman said in a statement.
